While Amare Stoudemire appears to be on the trading block, could the Phoenix Suns also be throwing Shaquille O'Neal's name out on the market too?

According to Marc Stein from ESPN, the Suns entered into preliminary discussions with several teams about Stoudemire on Friday, but there were also some scenarios which involved O'Neal.

According to Stein, although sources close to the situation insist that no deal is imminent, there is a growing belief around the league that the Suns will almost certainly move at least one of their big names before the league's Feb. 19 trading deadline.

Sources told ESPN.com that the Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons and Portland Trail Blazers are among the many teams with whom Phoenix has exchanged trade concepts, with the Bulls and Heat believed to be pursuing Stoudemire hardest at this early stage.
